Hansa Brandenburg B. I Legato 1/72
« on: September 24, 2014, 08:14:16 PM »
In I dont know if there is a similar phrase in english, but in Germany we describe something (i. e a plane) that is common, unspectacular, unglamorous or just boring wiht the words "Brot und Butter Flugzeug" (bread and butter plane).

I love colorfull glamorous fighter planes but I have also a special faible for these Brot und Butter Flugzeuge.

To my opinion one of theses planes is the Hansa Brandenburg B. I.
The Leagto kit is a typical short run model and needs some rework. But it has also a very nice PE board which helps to enhance it.
I built the Hansa out of the box and only added monofilament for the rigging and a thin brass tube from engine to cooler.

Paintjob was done with Gunze acrylic and Gunze Metalizer. Woodgrain with oil colors.

A model thrives on its overall impression and not on that every little disagreement over the original is hyped up as a disaster

Beautiful work Wolf!  I, too, have an affection from the "Brot und Butter Flugzuege," and the simple early finishes of natural wood and CDL.  You have achieved a very realistic model of both. ;D  The wood looks just right and the CDL as well.  Outstanding modeling of a very interesting aeroplane!  Thanks for sharing this one. :D

Cheers,

Bob

Very nice finish Wolf. I haven't bought or built any 1/72 kits for quite some time but I still have a soft spot for the One True Scale and yours is very cute  ;)

Beautifully done Wolfgang, the CDL and the wood is spectacular and you have done a brilliant job with the rigging, how you guys can produce such show pieces in 1:72 scale is beyond me, I tip my hat to you.

Spectacular, Wolf. You are right, there is something special to those plain aircraft. Simple, wood-linen and bare metal finish are soooo appealing. Your Brandy is just beautiful.

I agree; I too like "bread and butter" subjects. But this is far from "bread and butter" work you've done--more like "cake and icing!"  Beautiful!

What a super piece of work Wolf! If this is 'bread and butter', I could certainly feast upon it.

Best wishes

Really nice - I have a soft spot for AH aircraft.
Let's hope that WNW eventually get around to doing a Hansa-Brandenburg C.1, Phoenix C.1, Aviatik-Berg D.1 and Albatros D.III  OEF.
Must do the Copper State 1/48 Lohner B.II that I've had for years too!

That is an example of outstanding modelling. In English we might say everyday or run of the mill - that is anything but…. Terrific finish and super rigging - just plain excellent all round.
